Application filed August 25, 1908. Serial No. 450,210.

a citizen of the United States, residing in Los Angeles, county of LosAngeles, and

Y State oi California, have invented new and usefull improvements inHydrocarbon-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

My invention Vrelates to the class of hydrocarbon burners in which crudeoil, or other liquid-fuel is burned by the aid ofV some`eXpansible-iiuid, such as steam, or compressed air, and the objectthereof is to produce a burner in which the expansible-iluid can bedelivered into the combustion chamber below the liquid-luel in a broadthin stream which can be readily regulated as to the thickness of thestream by the operator? l accomplish this object bythe burner describedherein and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which,

Figure 1 is a central longitudinal section of the burner tip and showingthe iront wall of the combustion chamber and a ortion oi the supplypipes. parts shown in Fig. 1, a portion of the burner tip being insection. Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the burner tip. Fig. lis a rearelevation oi the burner tip. Y

` In the drawings 5 is the iront wall of the combustion chamber andisprovided with an opening 6 therethrough which is covered by a cap plate7 ii' desired, said cap plate having holes through which the projectingexterior part of the burner and the supply pipes extend. The burner tipis composed of a body piece 8 which is preferably cylindrical in shapewith the lower portion thereof of less diameter than the upper portion.In the up er portion is a transverse liquid-fuel channe 9 which` extendsthrough the head. The rear end of this channel is enlarged andinteriorly threaded `for the reception of the fuel supply pipe 10 whichscrews into the head. This supply pipe is rovided with a cock 11 toregulate the supp y ofiuel to the burner, and runs to a supply of liquidnot shown. Extending longitudinally and cen-V trally and thentransversely in the lower portion ofthe-body piece is theeXpansiblefluid channel12 best shown in Fig. 1. This channel opens in aport atV the front of the burner just below the liquid-fuel channel portand a little back of the same. Around the outlet, the body piece is cutaway to form a recess 13 best shown in Fig. 3. On the lower reducedportion ofthe body piece is a sleeve Fig.. 2 is a p an ofthe 14 whichisprovided with an upwardly proj ecting lip 15, which lip is adapted tolit into the recess 13 to close the same when the upper portion' of thesleeve is in contact with the enlarged portion of the body. The outletof channel 12 is square and preferably of the same width as lip 15 sothat the expansiblefluidV will issue from said channel 1n a thin broadstream when the sleeve is moved downwardly on the body.

yln the back portion of the sleeve is an elongated opening 16 in whichis received a cam 17 which is mounted eccentrically on rod 18 to whichit is rigidly secured by a pin 19 which passes through the cam and rodto secure the parts together. The inner end of rod 18 passes into arecess 20 in the body piece andis revoluble therein, so that as rod 18is'rotated the sleeve is moved up or down on the body to open or closeport 21 which is formed between lip 15 and the upper part of the bodypiece. its parts secured together by screws 23 and having an opening 24through which stem 18 passes, holds the cam from separating from thesleeve. A plate could be fastened to the sleeve to hold the cam inplace. A supply pipe 25 provided with a regulating cock 26 passesthrough the furnace wall and projects in front of the burner tip andthen rearwardly and connects to channel 12 in the burner tip to supplyeXpansible-iiuid from a source of supply not shown. If desired the bodypiece of the top could be of uniform diameter and the eXpansible iiuidchannel open at the surface thereof and the sleeve could be placed onthe outside of the lower A two part strap 22 having portion 'of the bodypiece and be operated by the cam to open and close the port of channel12. That portion of the eXpansble-iiuid pipe which projects in front ofthe burner tip may be termed a superheater and if desired the same couldbe omitted, but I prefer its use because it better prepares theexpansiblefluid for combustion.

`larged upper portion of the body piece and having an eXpansible-luidchannel terminating in a square port in said recess and a liquid-fuelchannel terminating in a port Yio above said recess; a sleeve slidablyInounted upon the lower portion of said body piece, said sleeve having`a lip projecting upwardly and adapted to nt into the recess of the'upper portion of the body piece and lmeans to move said sleevelongitudinally upon said body piece.

2. A hydro-carbon burner comprising' a cylindrical body piece and havingthe lower portion of less diameter than the upper portion and providedwith a liquid-fuel channel and an eXpansible-iiuel channel and a recessin the top portion, said expansible- Huid channel terminating in asquare port in said recess; a sleeve provided with a lip and slidablymounted on the lower portion of said l body piece, said sleeve having anelongated openlng in the back portion thereof; a rod revolubly mountedin the lower parts ol said body piece; a cani. eccentrically mounted onsaid rod, said cani beingr adapted to work in the opening' in saidsleeve; and means to prevent said cain from accidentally separatinerfrom said. sleeve.

In witness that I claini the foregoing l 12T have hereunto subsorihed inv naine this 10th day of August7 1908.
